Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router LAN • LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Wireless Barricade and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation. • Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease. • IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP start address may be specified by the user, e.g. 192.168.2.100 (default value).
Advanced Setup Wireless To configure the Wireless Barricade as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID), and encryption options. Channel and SSID You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Wireless Barricade and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values. ESSID: The Service Set ID.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Transmission Rate: Set the data rate transmitted from the Wireless Barricade. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. (Default: Fully Automatic.) Basic Rate: The highest rate specified is the rate the Wireless Barricade will use when transmitting broadcast/multicast and management frames. Available options are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps. (Default: 2Mbps.
Advanced Setup You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, enter a passphrase and click Generate. Four keys will be generated (as shown below). Choose a key from the dropdown list or accept the default key. Automatic 128-bit security generates a single key.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Wireless Barricade on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
Advanced Setup Virtual Server If you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Advanced Setup Firewall the Wireless Barricade firewall can provide access control of connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Note: 52 Click on Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown in the following screen).
Advanced Setup MAC Filtering Table The MAC Filtering feature of the Wireless Barricade allows you to control access to your network to up to 32 clients based on the MAC (Media Access Control) Address of the client machine. This ID is unique to each network adapter. If the MAC address is listed in the table, that client machine will have access to the network.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router URL Blocking To configure the URL Blocking feature, use the table below to specify the websites (www.somesite.com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in “Access Control” on page 51. To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option.
Advanced Setup Schedule Rule The Schedule Rule feature allows you to configure specific rules based on Time and Date. These rules can then be used to configure more specific Access Control. Enables Schedule-based Internet access control. 1. Click Add Schedule Rule. 2. Define the settings for the schedule rule (as shown on the following screen). 3. Click OK and then click the APPLY button to save your settings.

Advanced Setup Intrusion Detection Firewall Configuration • SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) – the Wireless Barricade’s Intrusion Detection feature limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked. • Discard Ping from WAN (Default: Enabled) – Prevents a PING on the Wireless Barricade’s WAN port from being routed to the network.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
Advanced Setup DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Settings Domain Name is a series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods, that is the address of a network connection and that identifies the owner of the address. Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name(s) to computers or servers. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router This DNS feature is powered by TZO.com. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web site, email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default: Disable) UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Setting Enable UPnP by checking ON in the screen above.
